• Ensure quality control across fit, materials, and final execution
• Stay current on fashion, streetwear, and lifestyle apparel trends while maintaining a timeless brand feel

• Strong understanding of fabrics, construction, and fit
• Ability to balance creative vision with practical constraints (budget, timelines, manufacturing)
• Clear point of view and taste level—knows when merch feels elevated vs. generic
• Comfortable working independently in a fast‑moving startup environment
